 The next event of importance on. your crowded agenda was the 1960 Homecoming. For Homecoming Queen candidate the senior class wisely chose for their representative its veteran champion, Carolyn Myers. The class backed the campaign with all their abilities and the reward was, of course, another victory. Carolyn was crowned queen and the beautiful float of the senior class won the first-place ribbon. The Homecoming success was followed shortly by another victory when Gretchen Dunn and Charles Klimas were crowned carnival queen and king. It goes without saying that the class campaigned stren- uously and employed an Irish gimmick to help clinch the victory. The class bought all-day suckers for the children in the grade school. Marjorie Nepil was a delegate to the National FHA Convention in Washington D. C. , and Tim Balazic and Ed Allderdice were delegates to National FFA Convention in Kansas City, Missouri. In January 1961 Carol Foussard was named state runner-up for a National Council of Teachers of Eng- lish Award. This was indeed an honor. Later on Clark Johnson won a scholarship in physics at the college in Havre. The annual Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom was held on April 22, 1961. The theme for this gala affair was Stars Fell on Alabama. Bonnie Morgan and Larry Galbavy were crowned queen and king of the Prom. The first weekend in May the 1961 class left on their sneak trip at 5 a.m., after waiting one hour for Tom Gasvoda. He had overslept! Their destination was Flathead Lake Lodge at Bigfork, Montana. A snow- storm did not stop these seniors. They went horseback riding, canoeing, and swimming. Next came the grand finale. Baccalaureate was held on May 14 with Pastor Lee officiating. A recep- tion followed at the Methodist Church, with all churches as the hosts. A senior supper was held Tuesday, May 16 at the Laddie Nepil home. Seniors and teachers were the guests. The Senior Breakfast was held at 9 a. m. on May 17. After the breakfast the seniors returned to the auditorium to practice for Commencement. Graduation ceremonies were held at 8 p. m. , May 17, in the high school auditorium. Mayor Swanbers of Great Falls gave the address.
